Tindersticks, Claire Denis Film Scores 1996-2009, 2011

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

Ah, the curse of completism. I already had a copy of Nenette et Boni but this boxset comes with that soundtrack plus five others ranging across five long playing records only one other of which had already been released, Trouble … Continue reading →

Asphalt Ribbons, Old Horse, 1991

Posted on December 5, 2011 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

Weirdly, there are almost no reviews of the  Asphalt Ribbons’s (proto-Tindersticks) only album on the web.  A couple of sites describe the band as ‘more countryish’ than the Tindersticks. Strange. I don’t hear ‘country’ in here at all. This kind … Continue reading →

Tindersticks, Falling Down A Mountain, 2010

Posted on November 15, 2011 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

The first thing to note about Falling Down A Mountain is the departure of three original members, whose places have been filled by chaps who’ve nudged the band just a tad into a looser, groovier direction – one that we haven’t … Continue reading →

Tindersticks, The Hungry Saw, 2008

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

Though I arrived in Hong Kong at the beginning of 2008 and saw The Hungry Saw LP sitting in a local record shop, I wouldn’t pick up a copy until late 2010. No, you shouldn’t judge a record by its … Continue reading →

Tindersticks, The Bloomsbury Theatre 12.3.95, 1995

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

I guess a little spiel on live albums is the way to begin. The academic view would be to say they serve only to exist as historical documents. Yes, this band was here on this date and played these songs. … Continue reading →

Tindersticks, Waiting For The Moon, 2003

Posted on August 30, 2011 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

I’ve been angsting over this review for various reasons. It took me awhile to get into this album, but that’s par for the course with the Tindersticks. On Waiting For The Moon, at first the tunes seem barely there, and … Continue reading →

Tindersticks, Can Our Love…, 2001

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

I bought Can Our Love… by mail order the month it came out. It came in a nice smooth digipack with this beautiful cover of a man nuzzling a donkey. With only eight songs, this was the shortest Tindersticks album … Continue reading →

Tindersticks, Simple Pleasure, 1999

Posted on April 14, 2011 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

I bought Simple Pleasure on CD the day it came out, 1999. (Finding it on LP was quite a mission on eBay.) I remember liking it more than Curtains. It’s different; the whole thing has a fresh new vibe. On … Continue reading →

Tindersticks, Curtains, 1997

Posted on February 11, 2011 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

I bought Curtains back in 1997, the year it came out. I played it a lot, tried to get into it and somehow fooled myself into thinking it was my favourite Tindersticks album. I can distinctly remember playing it again … Continue reading →

Tindersticks, Tindersticks II, 1995

Posted on January 29, 2011 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

So here I am on to my second Tindersticks review. I suppose Tindersticks are the kind of band who engender passionate outpourings. I think their debut is pretty grand, but this one, the second album was my first dalliance with … Continue reading →

Tindersticks, Tindersticks I, 1993

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Alan Bumstead Vinyl Reviews

I remember the Tindersticks’ debut album was Melody Maker’s album of the year in 1993. I found a way to hear it, but after a cursory once-over, thought it seemed boring and paid no more attention. My first Tindersticks purchase … Continue reading →
